Empowering You Through Every Step of Treatment
Getting the Most Out of Your Doctor Visits
- Write down your concerns: List symptoms, questions, and goals for the visit.
- Bring a support person: A trusted friend or family member can help reinforce your concerns.
- Be specific: Discuss your complaints and use descriptive language.
- Ask for next steps: No doctor knows everything, so maybe referrals are needed, ensure you have a plan.
- Reiterate Your Goals: Surviving does not have to be the only goal! State whatever your goal is. For example:ride a horse, hold a grandchild, play golf, clean your house. Be specific.
